Toyota primes the pump with RC and reaches into semi-high end territory with the LFA. Nissan does the same with the Z and GTR. Honda abandoned the sporty coupe segment so long ago that no one associates them with performance. The NSX better be darn good to justify 100K for a baby version of it. At that price a B-NSX certainly is not the "spiritual successor" to the S2000.

I miss my Teg R, god why did honda start sucking...it all went down hill in like 1993 really, with the discontinuation of the NSX, i think it was that year (i could be way off) and then the Integra R went away, i think that was the end of the b18, and then came the end of the Prelude's incredibly sexy body style + h22a4 220hp.. I owned a loaded 98 Accord coupe w/h22a4 swap/bolt ons/crazy stereo, that was one of my favorite cars ever also... that was one of the last Accord's for a while i liked.. the new ones that just came out, i cant remember, but their special edition..i think it's actually the Accord Coupe SE, but they come with the V6 + 6spd, they are sweet... they like got too tall and "eco" looking for my taste though, i miss the low to the ground wide look of the Prelude's and Accord Coupe's of the old days...

I think this is supposed to compete in the Le Man GT-E class.

I think they're just following the trend of bigification. Honda has been and is still building a number of great, small, low cars that just don't ever make it to the US.

Yes, you're way off.

The U.S. NSX was 1991-2005.
